Item 1 (Continued from above) Proposed clause: Employees who are paid an hourly rate in excess of their respective EA classification rate will not be automatically entitled to an increase each year. Increases for these individuals will be considered based on relativity to the market, the Employee's performance and capabilities and MTA's financial performance. This could result in a pay freeze for 4 years.
MRA Compromise - Maintain proposal however a review of proposed EA rates has been conducted to ensure they can surpass the BOOT test - with the inclusion of 2.5 hours overtime per week due to potential daily travel beyond current provisions.
